Plugging a wall

[nahnotme]

I need to attach a chest of drawers I bought from Ikea to a wall because im sick of them falling over when I go round a corner, they came with a little strap and hole to screw it in place on the top but I dont know about attaching this to a motorhome wall.
Do you need special screws or raw plugs ?

Hi

The inside plywood liner is very thin, I tried ordinary wood screws when fixing a couple of wall heaters but they didn't grip very well, so I used plaster board fixings, the type that screw into the board.

I'me sure you will, but be carefull whats behind the panel. screwfix as a great selection of anchors.

Best of luck Roy

Why not use "No Nails" or Silicon same stuff as you would use around a bath etc, both of those will sick it to the wall,

JUst check the thickness of the wall you are fitting to, as the plasterboard fixings and screws may just go through to the outside puncturing the outer skin, I personally would use silicon sealer at the back but make sure the back of the cupboard is well fixed as you could go round a corner lose the cupboard and still have the back of it stuck to the wall.
